    Convenience, safeguard and peace of mind mostly. Synchronizing job time off to possible weather closure to unforeseen circumstances, etc. Getting the biometrics done sooner is better to start the N-400 processing.
  2. EatBulaga
    Two interesting points in the Biometrics Notification: • Family groups may appear together, even if they are scheduled for a different day. • Military members may appear at an ASC during normal operating hours without an appointment. So apparently, the ASC does expect some outside the schedule flexibility. Maybe worth trying?

  8. EatBulaga
    After submitting the N-400, we got our "Biometrics Appointment Was Scheduled". https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/834958-n-400-january-2026-filers/page/4/#findComment-11095643 When we got the I-485 biometrics appointment, the notice said the ASC (Application Support Center) was not accepting walk-in visits. After reading many I-485 biometrics posts that walk-in ahead of schedule were successful, we took the chance and proceeded with an early walk-in ahead of our biometrics scheduled appointment. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/786775-july-2022-aos-filers/page/4/#findComment-10722883 Has any N-400 with biometrics appointment tried to walk-in in advance and succeeded? Thanks.

    Do you have a link to show 100% of the household poverty for I-134? I've only seen the 125% for I-864. A quick search with Gemini says "While some cases may accept 100% for I-134, aiming for 125% is safer, as it aligns with the stricter requirements for Form I-864."

  13. EatBulaga
    Submit the IRS transcripts for the past 3 years. Your most current proof of income like payslips, employer letter, etc. is the deciding factor. You can add assets, etc. If your income is not or barely 125%, then consider co-sponsor. My personal suggestion is more the better. I-134 is just for the consulate to make a decision. But the I-864 is what will be legally binding.

    Well...We are off and running to the last stretch... Submitted my N-400 while my I-751 is pending. My N-400 progress thread is at https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/834958-n-400-january-2026-filers/page/4/#findComment-11095643
  19. EatBulaga
    Alrighty then...let the games begin... Submitted the N-400 around 1:30 pm. Received the Receipt Number around 1:31 pm: Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent. Since the N-400 was electronic, we did not include a cover letter. We just filled in the Additional Information section, referring back to the Permanent Resident Card section with the pending I-751 case receipt number IOE**********. And added, "For USCIS convenience, we request a combination interview for N-400 and I-751. I guess the next step is to wait for the Biometrics notice?

    @Verrou @JD2 @Crazy CatThanks all. Since this question was in a long series of No's answers about Good Moral Character, I thought maybe USCIS is sliding in a Yes as a tricky check?

    The way the question is worded can mean that?
  25. EatBulaga
    Have you EVER married someone in order to obtain an immigration benefit? ( ) Yes ( ) No Don't all marriage-based I-485 LPRs have to answer Yes?

    Yes, she plans to travel in 2026 and may apply again afterwards. Don't know if the DS-160 allows more text field for Primary Occupation? So instead of saying RETIRED, maybe say RETIRED WITH PENSION?

  31. EatBulaga
    1. Yes. You can also reference https://www.visajourney.com/guides/us-naturalization/ 2. I'm currently going through the N-400 online form. https://my.uscis.gov/citizenship/what_to_expect I recommend completing the online form yourself first before determining if you need a lawyer. 3. You can travel while waiting for the interview with the proper documents (passport, green card, etc.). Just make sure you have someone catch the USCIS notification mails so that you can return for the biometrics, interview, appointments, etc.

    Did your MIL pay for the DS-160 fee, or did you or your spouse pay for the fee? A Filipina friend of my spouse, just a couple of months ago, had her Father get rejected, and the next day her Mother got approved for the B2. The Mother is currently in the US visiting. Actually, it was we who paid for the MIL DS-160 fee with a US credit card. I wonder if that might trigger a flag with the consulate?
  35. EatBulaga
    Mother-In-Law is retired so her circumstances most likely won't change anytime soon. The B2 interview was in Manila. According to my Mother-In-Law, the B2 interviewer denied the 3 before her. It was 3 questions and denial lasting no more than 2-3 minutes for each applicant.
